To wake up in the spring from hibernation, you need to replenish your body with vitamins, and rose hips will help us perfectly in this. This berry has long been considered an excellent health booster. In dried berries, vitamins are stored throughout the winter. However, remember that in order to help the body cope with the spring lack of vitamins, rose hips must be properly dried. The berries are dried without the use of heat treatment, in a dark, well-ventilated area.

From dry berries you can make a delicious and healthy drink. In the evening, pour 1 liter of boiling water over 2 handfuls of wild rose berries and insist in a thermos until morning. Drink the infusion throughout the day.

But besides rose hips, there are several other types of proven sources of vitamins, such as green onions, which can be grown on the windowsill of your own apartment, starting in the earliest spring. Green onions contain vitamin C, carotene, vitamins E, B1, folic acid. It is very rich in potassium and iron salts and surpasses all vegetables and fruits in calcium content.

Also, in order to overcome winter fatigue and depression and be in excellent physical shape in spring, you need to eat citrus fruits — a valuable source of vitamin C. As in cabbage, it is well preserved until spring. All of these products also contain vitamin P (rutin), which increases the absorption of vitamin C.

But, perhaps, the champion in the content of vitamin C is not citrus fruits, but jam from needles. To prepare healing jam, take 3 cups of spruce shoots, add 1.5 cups of sugar, add 2 cups of water, mix and put on fire. After boiling, cook for 20 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly. Take spruce jam with tea several times a day.
